Rob "Durny" Durnell

Guide

Born and raised in the mountains of the Western Chugach, Durny has as much local knowledge and skiing experience in CPG's terrain as anyone. Now entering his 13th year guiding with CPG, Durny is as enthustiastic about sharing his local knowledge and skiing experience as ever. As an Alyeska patroller for many years as well as a lead guide on Denali, Durny is more at home on his skis in the Chugach than anywhere else.

With 750,000 acres of heli terrain, 4 helicopters, 2 snowcats, and Alyeska Resort, CPG clients are in the mountains every day.
